Zoom provides step-by-step instructions on how to host a video meeting.
Join a Zoom meeting
You can join a Zoom meeting from a variety of invitations and devices. Each meeting has a unique 9, 10 or 11-digit number called a meeting ID that is required to join a Zoom meeting. If you are joining by phone, you'll need the teleconferencing number provided in your invitation. Meeting Hosts have the capability to disable the Waiting Room feature. If this feature is not disabled, participants with non-UMD identities will be held in the Waiting Room until the meeting hosts admit them. For more information, please see Zoom Waiting Room Requirement: Managing Meeting Access for UMD and External Collaborators.
